There is already an utility called realpath in Debian that does what you want given -s as an argument. There's also a realpath(3) wrapper in FreeBSD, but it does not accept -s. It's effectively a synonym with GNU coreutil's readlink -f. I think coreutils should include Debian's realpath or a compatible replacement. Should we approach FreeBSD wrt to -s?Should this be added to an existing coreutils' command or add a new command to coreutils? Personally I'd prefer to add a command called relpath. But I'm not sure the standard organization in coreutils.
